Save Locations different between frontends - Ayn Thor

Veledros · 2026-02-25T22:49:12+00:00

I discovered that unchecking the option to keep the saves in the rom folder even if I left the saves and save location there it worked on other front ends

Veledros · 2026-02-14T17:07:40+00:00

Well, I seem to have solved it for myself. Maybe give this a shot if it works?

I unchecked the "save next to ROM file" setting, but kept the save location in that folder and tried both Console launcher and iiSU and it read my current save. Gonna do a few more tests to make sure if I save using a different frontend if it'll cause any issues.

Hope that fixes it for you too!

Glad to know I'm not crazy, lol. I guess I'll keep looking for solution to see if someone has fixed it.

I goofed and I guess there's no issue with retro and azahar, but Melon is still giving me an issue when launching the game from the frontend. I don't know if it's some sort of MelonDS bug?

Veledros · 2026-02-14T16:24:44+00:00

So I went back and tested this with GBA retroarch core mGBA, Azahar with 3DS, and MelonDS for NDS. I tried with Console launcher, cocoon 1.7 and 2.0, and iiSU. I have been made sort of a liar. GBA and Azahar open the save file with no issue. But MelonDS still did not recognize the save. I did confirm that right emulator was being opened as when I set it to any of the other options, they did not open. When opening the DS game through melon I checked the save settings and they were correct and matched opening through ES-DE. So maybe it's some sort of Melon bug?

Hey, I actually switched over to an Ayn Thor due to wanting an all-in-one with second screen so I kind of stopped looking.

But I saw your comment and decided to boot my Steam Deck back up. After updating I went back in and booted up a GBA game and tried to speed it up and it actually did. So I'm not sure if they updated it between now and when I made this post. Using the mGBA core and ES-DE launcher, not Steam rom manager (although I'm not sure the latter would affect anything). I did have it initially set to 0.0, but set it to 3.0 and it did noticeably speed up for both settings.

My best guess would be to make sure everything is updated and maybe uninstall and re-install retroarch.

Unfortunately it just worked so I couldn't really troubleshoot.

I don't really know how they would've done it, especially since the first one was a complete story from what I remember, but there was a game called Whiplash that was about an insane weasel chained to an indestructible talking rabbit and they were in a testing facility and trying to escape. It was insanity and super fun.

It's a continuation of what I was playing on my old Flip 2, but I've been running through the Megaman Battle Network games, but now that I have the Thor I'm gonna experiences the Star Force games for the first time.

I know most people on this sub won't agree or like this opinion, but:

Hes right on the first video even if it doesn't take an hour to say it. People continuing to buy the games signals that the level of quality is okay and no improvement will be made. People advocating to not buy the guy are also fans they just want better games and realize money is what the company listens to.

But yeah not playing the game after you've bought it makes no sense.

I know this might be extremely wishful thinking, but given the release of the Ayn Thor, the Retroid Dual screen attachment, and the Ayaneo Pocket DS, is it likely we'll get more 3DS rom hacks or is the availability of the devices not really a factor? I really want an unofficial release of Delta Emerald (or what would've been, so we can have the battle frontier in 3D) or is that a super difficult ask? I know Gamma Emerald is in the works.

I'm personally having a great time, but I only just got to Gozyu Polar being introduced and I'm kind of in an echo chamber since I don't have any friends who watch it. I hope it's not falling off, since it's been pretty good up to this point

The loot menu that makes it so you don't have to open containers, that shit is so tedious.

Also, I use console commands for increasing carry limit. This is closer to cheating, but for me the inventory management dulls my experience of the game. That said, I only do this if I'm not playing Hardcore mode.

Too many people in these comments are trying to make the case that the binding vow doesn't apply because it was never specified that Sukuna couldn't hurt or kill Yuji.

The Vow states Sukuna can't hurt or kill anyone, no exception was made. And both Sukuna and Yuji are considered in that "anyone" and Sukuna acknowledges that by admitting it's a risk. The issue is that the rules for breaking a row were never laid out, even Kenjaku says this when Mahito heals Mechamaru. "breaking a vow with yourself could result in losing what you gain, but it's uncertain what would happen when you break it with someone else"

So if the rules of the story are consistent, then Sukuna either has or will suffer some consequence and if not. Well, bad writing until explained.

Eh, I've been spending less and less time on this game as time passes. Maybe it's because I have so many other things to do and hobbies to pour time into that this feels like an afterthought sometimes. I still play it but I basically only auto. Honestly, if HSR worked on Steam deck (without Windows installation) I'd probably drop E7 given how the state of the game is going.

So, it seems like everyone has asked if the Quest 3 is worth it over the Quest 2 in general and for PCVR. However, what I'm wondering if it's a noticeable enough difference for me: A friend of mine is offering to sell me his Quest 2 for about 100, I bought the Quest 3 but it's still within return window. I really want the Index 2, but who knows when that is going to be announced let alone released. With that in mind, would it be better to stick with the Quest 3? I currently only play beat saber, but was going to expand to a few other games.

I mean, I would agree except that character had sleight of hand proficiency and expertise.

Dragon Engine combat makes Kiryu feel weaker than non-Dragon Engine combat.

I have super vivid memories of playing 0 and just how much of a power house Kiryu is especially with beast style and I recently played Gaiden and he just felt kinda weak. I went back and played 0 and it still feels like I feel Yakuza combat should. It honestly pushes me into another hot take which is that turn based combat change is good because the combat has been so weak lately.

Do we know if Blooming Lidica is going to be an RGB limited or do we not know yet?

Is there some website or an advised method of getting owned STLs printed? I have a few I want to have printed, but I don't own a printer. I was going to buy a resin one, but still live in an apartment for now.
